    A Time To Kneel Series

    This message looks at some tactics the enemy will use to discredit God's people. We can fight back through prayer. Daniel actually stood for his faith while on his knees in prayer.

    In our second message from this series, I mentioned how when we live according to biblical principles, working “as to the Lord and not to men” (Colossians 3:23), that we will receive God’s favor and be promoted to a place of prominence. I also cautioned that those who are favored by God are hated ...read more

    A Time To Repent Series

    Daniel took it on himself to intercede for the entire nation. He was just one person; yet the Lord heard his prayer. God will intervene on behalf of the few who fear His name and seek His face.

    In our message today, we’re going to view Daniel’s prayer of repentance for the nation of Israel. Donald S. Whitney says of prayer, that God “expects us to pray just as a general expects to hear from his soldiers in the battle” and that “prayer is a walkie-talkie for warfare, not a domestic ...read more

    Humanity’s ability to predict the weather has improved over the centuries. Simple observations of general weather patterns and seasonal shifts have evolved into highly technological advancements that allow us to predict or provide some best guesses regarding pending weather events several days in ...read more

    Part One – Drop the Shovel: Guard the Heart Opening Illustration – The Grand Canyon Shovel Some years ago I traveled to the Grand Canyon with my young son.

    Supper Time

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 136 views

    God’s feast is ready; the call is now—accept His grace, wear His robe, and take your seat at the table.

    I grew up one of seven children. In a house that full, noise was normal—laughing, teasing, fussing, the thud of feet running in and out the back door. But no matter how wild the day got, there was one sound that could stop everything in an instant. It wasn’t thunder. It wasn’t Dad’s whistle. It ...read more

    490 Times?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 113 views

    Forgiveness isn’t counted but lived—when we release others, God releases us, mercy triumphs, and faith regains its power to move mountains.

    Mercy triumphs over judgment — that’s what the Word of God says. And if we’re honest, every one of us here needs mercy. We’ve needed it before, we’ll need it again before the day’s over. If it weren’t for the mercy and compassion of God, where would we be? Utterly consumed. Gone. Done for. But His ...read more

    History changed the day, but grace restores the meaning—calling us to worship the Creator who never changed His rest.

    Introduction – A Change No One Voted On Some of the biggest changes in history happen so quietly that we only notice their results. Languages drift, customs morph, recipes evolve, and one day we realize the original flavor has vanished. That is how the Sabbath changed. It was not a decision of ...read more

     | 2,282 views

    Christians often compartmentalize their use of time into "MY" time and "GOD'S" time. But is that the best way to think of the time we've been given in our lives?

    It used to be – if you wanted to know what time it was you might look up at the sun and say “Well, it looks like it’s about 12:30” and everybody’d be happy with that. But not anymore: In Washington D.C. - on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory - there’s a concrete building that houses ...read more

    You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time? (Luke 12:56)

    The theme for today’s sermon is “knowing the times”. The first words of the Bible are “In the beginning (time) God created the heavens (space) and the earth” (matter). The relationship between time, energy, space and matter is a fundamental concept in physics to give us an understanding of the ...read more
